Operational Behaviorism Asserted That

question 15

Multiple Choice

Operational behaviorism asserted that

• A) behavior can be studied reliably only by using the highly controlled equipment of the operant chamber.
• B) an unobservable variable can be used to explain behavior if we indicate how we will manipulate it and how it will affect behavior.
• C) before we can reliably measure and predict behavior, we must have accurate operational definitions of the antecedents.
• D) both respondent conditioning and operant behavior are controlled by the same operations-antecedent events.
